Cíle předmětu

The course aims at introduction into political, societal, and economic history of 20th century Europe. The main goal of the course within the pre-graduate program is to set a sound knowledge base for following course on European contemporary politics in general and European Integration in particular. The course consists of twelve topics that cover European history from the First World War to the break-up of Soviet rule in Central and Eastern Europe. Main attention is paid to political history of Europe after the Second World War and the course offers balanced focus both on development of Western liberal democracies and East-Central European communist countries. The concept of the course combines traditional approach of political history aimed at presentation of key historical events with social-sciences-based comparative assessment of long- and medium-term processes of economic and social history.
